The rise of PRP in recent years has been exceptional. Thanks in part to the popularity of non-surgical cosmetic treatment, platelet-rich plasma procedures are fast becoming the most sought after development in the cosmetic industry.

The regenerative ability of PRP coupled with the fact that procedures are low risk and non-invasive make for an attractive option for aesthetician and patient alike.

The Procedure PRP is the result of taking a sample of the patient’s own blood, then spinning in a centrifuge in order to extract the platelet rich plasma. The extracted platelet rich plasma is then re-introduced to the body at the specific site of treatment by small injection.

Because the treatment is autologous, produced by the patient, there is no risk of allergic reaction or rejection. Additionally, the whole procedure is relatively fast, taking roughly half an hour to produce and re-inject.

PRP treatments are effective, fast, and virtually risk-free because they work in tandem with the patient’s own healing processes.

Cosmetic RejuvenationPRP is essentially, healing and rejuvenating treatment as well as having shown tangible results in the fields of hair-loss reduction, collagen production, and sports injury recovery.

Platelets have been shown to stimulate repair processes in the body. Because of their efficacy, growth factors are produced within ten minutes of treatment and keep working for up to ten days following initial treatment with minimal interruption into the patient’s daily life.

In particular, PRP treatments are proving especially popular in skin rejuvenation. The PRP process helps to slow the signs of ageing by making use of the body’s own repair mechanism.

Cosmetic PRP treatments work to stimulate cell growth, trigger skin regeneration and collagen production, and also to promote tissue renewal.

PRP can be used in a variety of cosmetic beauty treatments, as well as in the management of sports injuries and wound healing.

Fantastic results have been seen in the appearance of fine lines, the under-eye area, volume loss, skin tightening, and even deep acne scarring.

SummaryThe rising use of PRP in cosmetic procedures owes itself to the life-changing results seen by patients. Non-invasive, non-surgical, and with no need for the introduction of foreign materials, PRP makes a smart alternative to the cosmetic treatments of the past.
